Strings in JavaScript Part 1
(formatting text)

String manipulation is an important part of JavaScript
programming, and having recently been reminded that I have yet to write a
tutorial on it, this one comes as long overdue. In Part 1 of "Strings In
JavaScript", I'll discuss how to format the look of a string using
the language, such as make it bold, convert it to uppercase etc.

The String object

Before we officially proceed, it's important to realize the
existence of a
String Object in JavaScript, and
how it is created- whenever a variable contains text. Take the following as
an example:

var sitename="JavaScript Kit"

In the above, "sitename" is not only a variable, but an
instance of the String object as
well.
